The International Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organized Crime is observed worldwide every November 15. This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in March 2024 to commemorate the adoption of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) on November 15, 2000. The observance aims to enhance international cooperation in combating transnational organized crime, which includes activities such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering. It highlights the serious threats posed by organized crime to governance and the rule of law, as well as the need for coordinated efforts across nations to address these challenges. The day also honors the victims of organized crime, particularly those who have lost their lives in the fight against it, including law enforcement and judicial personnel.
